Resilient Roots Initiative – A guide and how to close the Feedback Loop

Resilient Roots produced a detailed short guide outlining the methodology the initiative is following to measure accountability and track changes over time with the participating pilot project organisations. The guide also includes some key considerations for any organisation interested in setting up their own mechanisms for measuring accountability.

Furthermore, collecting feedback from the communities we work with is an important part of becoming more accountable, but for this process to be meaningful we have to “close the feedback loop”! Therefore Resilient Roots made a video with practical tips and examples for how to close the feedback loop with your constituents!

You can access the guide here and watch Resilient Root’s latest animation here.

Obstacles and Promising Techniques in Storytelling for Transparency and Accountability

The Transparency and Accountability Initiative’s (TAI’s) story behind the story report aims to help donors and practitioners in the transparency, accountability, and participation community to make use of stories to advocate their civic mission, to document and promote their work, and to examine their own impact.

Global Standard for CSO Accountability

The Global Standard for CSO Accountability is an initiative of nine well-established civil society accountability networks from around the world. The overarching aim is to strengthen the effectiveness of CSOs worldwide by devising a collective Global Standard on CSO Accountability. The nine networks have, over the course of three years, cooperated to learn from each other, gain a truly global view on CSO accountability, and improve their codes and reduce transaction costs. The Global Standard was formally launched during the International Civil Society Week in December 2017.
